CopyShelf
CopyShelf
CopyShelf is a native macOS clipboard manager built around the high-frequency loop: capture, search, preview, and paste without leaving your flow. It keeps history on your Mac, supports Quick Paste and Paste Queue, and adds output modes when you need more control.
Search recent clips, move with the keyboard, preview before committing, and paste without pulling the full app into your workflow.
Your clipboard history stays on your Mac. CopyShelf supports app blacklists, transient and sensitive exclusions, pause/resume capture, and deterministic clear-data controls.
Reuse the same clip as Auto, Plain, Rich, or Markdown output, then layer on lightweight collections, favorites, filters, and Paste Queue when needed.
CopyShelf focuses on the everyday path first: capture locally, find the right clip quickly, and only reach for extra output control when the task actually needs it.
Copy text, rich text, links, or images from the apps you already use. CopyShelf stores recent history locally and keeps the default path lightweight.
Open Quick Paste, search or arrow through recent clips, preview what matters, and stay in the keyboard-driven path instead of switching to a heavier management view.
Most clips should just paste. When they should not, CopyShelf can reuse the same stored item through Auto, Plain, Rich, or Markdown output modes.
A clipboard manager handles sensitive data by default. CopyShelf keeps captured history on your Mac, avoids cloud sync and clipboard-content analytics, and gives you visible controls for pausing capture or clearing stored data when you need to.
